Charlotte Dental Crowns
We Specialize in Restoring Smiles with Dental Crowns
Dental Crowns in Charlotte by Crown Point Family Dentistry, can help restore your smile to be both beautiful and strong.
Dental crowns are a trusted solution for restoring damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth to bring back their natural appearance and function. Whether you’re protecting a tooth after a root canal or covering a large filling, our high-quality crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile and stand the test of time.
Crowns, also known as caps, are porcelain and/or partial metal casts of teeth that are placed over fractured or significantly decayed teeth to protect the tooth from breaking down further.
The Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Crowns will relieve discomfort: Most decayed or fractured teeth become sensitive to temperature or pressure, making it hard to enjoy your favorite food. Using teeth caps will protect your teeth from sensitivity and decay.
- Crown procedures are simple: Our expert dentist will reshape your teeth, which is minimally invasive and may only cause slight discomfort. We’ll make a cast of your teeth to make a custom-fitted crown. After it’s made, it’s cemented into place.
- Crowns will enhance your smile: Our confidence is shown in our smile, but some people could be self-conscious about showing their cracked or decayed teeth. Teeth caps will help you reclaim your smile!

The Custom Dental Crown Process
Step 1
Reshape the tooth to accommodate the crown. This step prepares the surface into a stable foundation for the crown to be secured.
Step 2
Take impressions or use digital intraoral scanners for precision. These impressions are used to customize a crown for a perfect fit.
Step 3
A temporary crown may be placed while the final restoration is fabricated. The permanent crown is cemented or screwed into place—implant-supported crowns may use one of these methods.

Dental Crowns FAQs
Have questions about dental crowns? You’re not alone. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions patients have about the purpose, longevity, and care of dental crowns to help you feel informed and confident about your treatment.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns typically last between 10 to 15 years, but with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, they can last sometimes up to 20 years or more. The longevity of a crown depends on the material used, your oral habits (such as grinding or clenching), and how well you care for it.
What is the difference between a dental crown and veneers?
Both crowns and veneers improve the appearance and function of teeth, but they serve different purposes:
-
A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is typically used to restore strength and function to a damaged, decayed, or root canal-treated tooth.
-
A veneer is a thin shell that covers only the front surface of the tooth and is usually used for cosmetic improvements like discoloration, minor misalignment, or chipped teeth.
In short, crowns are for full restoration, while veneers are for cosmetic enhancement.
How do I care for my dental crowns?
Caring for a dental crown is similar to caring for a natural tooth. To keep your crown in good condition:
-
Brush twice daily and floss once a day
-
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens
-
Limit sticky or overly hard foods
-
Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
With proper care, your crown can stay strong and look great for many years.
